Supernwrd, I know you'll say that I'm obsessed with players height (maybe I am) but this guy is short oo. Omo.
He is listed at 1.68m on transfermarkt

Subzero0477:
We are coming for you Senegal

TheSuperNerd:
Lol. I am aware. Fullbacks are not normally tall. Height is a bonus for a fullback.
Ryan Alebiosu for instance has the height.

Bouadi97:
Why do I see so many of you in this forum being against North Africa?
I am from Algeria, and I love Nigeria and follow all of its matches from 2004 up to the present day.

AndSunGorilla:
Let me guess you are 5.4 abi?

Bouadi97:
I didn’t know how to reply to each of you individually,
so I hope this can be taken as a general response.
I — or rather, all of us — admit that corruption exists within our African continent, and that everyone uses their influence. A clear example of this today is Motsepe and Lekjaa.
I also do not deny the negative behavior of some of our fans (in North Africa), but that does not justify all this hatred.
I love Nigeria, and I have been with you on this forum since 2018. However, recently I have noticed many people expressing hatred toward North Africa, which is why I decided to respond.
My dream is to see Nigeria crowned champions of Africa, to make up for our disappointment of not qualifying for the World Cup.

TheSuperNerd:
With the exception of 1982 edition, Nigeria always does well in North Africa, so I expect Morocco 2025 to continue that trend and even prove us 4th time lucky again in North Africa since our last win on North African soil also came as 4th time lucky.

Libya 1982 - First Round

Morocco 1988 - Runners-up

Algiers 1990 - Runners-up

Tunisia 1994 - Champions

Tunisia 2004 - 3rd place

Egypt 2006 - 3rd place

Egypt 2019 - 3rd place

Morocco 2025 - ? (CHAMPIONS AGAIN)?

..So your dream is not far fetched as North Africa Afcon editions always sees us reach the semis at worst.

And yes, your camaraderie towards Nigerian football is appreciated as a North African but you really cant blame the harsh comments coming from my Nigerian brothers about the constant and ever present North African football antics. Truth is Nigeria have always been at the end of "ojoro" against North African sides. We saw it at Algiers 90 final. We saw it at Tunisia 2004 Semifinals before P.S.O.
Even in Club Football, we suffered it for years in the Champions league before Enyimba broke the curse and still faced the wrath of North Africans being bad losers.

Even in the Wafcon, it had to take the superior technical quality of the Super falcons to overcome the Moroccans despite the crowd intimidation, laser lights distractions and a few funny calls in that first half that swung the momentum in Morocco's favour for a while.

So again, kindly dont blame the harshness. You are just one vs thousands of thousands of North Africans who champion intimidation and sore loser attitude when results dont go their way in a fair competition.

I dont support hatred but I think one is allowed to dislike something that constantly happens again and again. That you are different does not make it go away.

And yes, corruption is everywhere but in football no region plays terrible and hostile hosts better than the North Africans. You obviously saw how Libya treated our Super Eagles, endangering our entire National team right? If those lads had died in a plane crash, would you be here saying "hatred is not justified?"

Again, I dont like the word hatred but I feel the Nigerian fans who complain bitterly about what North Africans do on and off the pitch in a bid to gain unfair advantage in a football game, are not out of line entirely.

One of such North African craze episodes nearly cost Nigeria her entire national team. Have that in mind always.

Goke7:
😂 Boss I got you. Be assured you’re safe with me no matter who win. Morocco is indeed a powerhouse in Africa no debate about that!

LB? Abeg bring, we desperately need one

9JAMac10:
Yes sir I second that. Am riding with the super eagles ⚽️🇳🇬and hope we win this cup to compensate for World Cup qualification loss.

charlesemeka85:
is he better than what we have? I hardly trust players from mid table Portuguese teams

TheSuperNerd:
Another LB to keep eyes on is Jayden Ade Trindade Meghoma of Rangers of Scotland.
An ever present for Rangers this season and still 19.

Anglo Nigerian lad. Eligible for England and Nigeria. Played only 2 friendlies for England U20s last year. But featured for England U17s in 2023 at U17 Euros and FIFA U17 WC so would need a switch of allegiance unlike Ryan Alebiosu who had no official caps for England at any level at all.
